Arrow International catheter kits recalled for contaminated components

Arrow International included lidocaine, bupivacaine, and saline solution from a supplier with quality issues in multiple catheter and arterial line kits. The supplier's products showed signs of ineffectiveness and potential sterility problems, which could cause serious harm if compromised injectable products are used.

  • Check the lot numbers on affected kits against the FDA recall list
  • Do not use affected kits; quarantine them and contact your supplier
  • Notify your healthcare facility's clinical engineering or materials management team immediately
Hazard

Lidocaine, Bupivacaine, and 0.9% sodium chloride, the subject of a supplier recall, were included into kits and sets. The supplier was found to have quality issues and limited reports of drug ineffectiveness, and if sterility of a water-based injectable product is compromised this could lead to serious or life-threatening injuries.
